The Disappointing Princess

May 30, 2017October 20, 2017 loudenclearblog4 Comments

What little girl doesn't love princesses? When I was little, I resented the fact that I wasn't born one or two hundred years earlier so I could live in a luxurious castle and wear giant frocks. (Granted, I didn't realize that I would have had to wear a corset, potty in an outhouse, brush my… Continue reading The Disappointing Princess

Overload

April 18, 2017April 18, 2017 loudenclearblog6 Comments

Today has been a struggle.  I have waaaaay too many things in my brain. Here's what is going through my brain: What should we do about summer reading? What books should juniors have to read? What should the assessment look like? How do I want to change English 11 next year? The options are endless.… Continue reading Overload

What to watch: Shetland

April 11, 2017April 11, 2017 loudenclearblog7 Comments

  I've written about Shetland--the islands--before, but today I want to tell you about a new show you should watch! Several years ago I read a series of mysteries by Anne Cleeves that take place in Shetland, and a couple years after that they created a TV series about it.  The show is filmed in… Continue reading What to watch: Shetland

Warning

April 4, 2017October 20, 2017 loudenclearblog8 Comments

Today while doing the dishes I overheard a commercial for some kind of prescription medication.  As usual, following the glowing qualities of this miracle cure, the announcer began listing the many dangers, and it began with "Do not take ___ if you are allergic to it." Well....duh. I've noticed this warning lately.  Don't take it… Continue reading Warning

Last Write (#sol17 31/31)

March 31, 2017April 8, 2017 loudenclearblog8 Comments

We made it to day 31. Wow. And it was actually much easier to accomplish this year, I think.   How has this month shaped me as a writer, you ask? Let's see... I'm way more aware. I find inspiration everywhere: in commercials, statements made by my students / friends/ etc, songs, other slices, books… Continue reading Last Write (#sol17 31/31)

Motivation (#sol17 30/31)

March 30, 2017April 8, 2017 loudenclearblog5 Comments

Well, it's day six of Spring Break (I totally count the weekends) and you know what I've accomplished? Very little. Of course I was in Kentucky for the first three days.  Then yesterday I went horseback riding and read (I've finished two books this week--that's two more than all of 2017!). This morning I found… Continue reading Motivation (#sol17 30/31)

I Believe (#sol17 29/31)

March 29, 2017April 8, 2017 loudenclearblog1 Comment

This morning on my way to ride with my friends, "I Believe in Love" by Don Williams came on.  I'm only 34 but I'm an old soul, and I love me some Don Williams. As I listened to the words, I found there were many things he and I agree on. These are my favorite… Continue reading I Believe (#sol17 29/31)

Reading Again (#sol17 27/31)

March 27, 2017April 8, 2017 loudenclearblog10 Comments

I finally gave in and bought a book I knew I would like--and what a difference that makes! Once we made it to our hotel this weekend, I knew I'd want a book to read, so I got on Amazon and purchased the latest Robert Dugoni (a typical, predictable mystery thriller) and I've been devouring… Continue reading Reading Again (#sol17 27/31)

What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)

March 26, 2017April 8, 2017 loudenclearblog5 Comments

Well y'all, we have had an incredible weekend in Lexington.  We've eaten delicious food and watched spectacular horsewoman accomplish some amazing feats. I'm just going to recap the highlights. The food. This year we did it right by choosing some awesome restaurants. On Thursday we ate at Pepe's. It wasn't special, just a Mexican restaurant,… Continue reading What a Weekend (#sol17 26/31)
